I will cover various issues or topics coming to my mind. Intended them to be cansual and light. So far, it has been much easier to write this section than my other much mentioned stuff :)
The joy of reading--Simply commenting on different aspects of my most important hobby: reading. Not necessarily of good books, certainly not just for learning. Reading per se is one experience of great reward and joy in life.
Led to the new millennium --I am not particularly excited about the coming new era. It is hard enough not to notice signs of aging here and there. And this is the grandest reminder of time passing by. Quickly. Here is my way of "celebrating".
What is education for?--With the kids getting to the school age, I started to pay attention to education and realized that I knew nothing about it - despite the fact that I had spent some 20 odd (!) years myself in quite a few schools. What is education for? What should be taught? What can be learned? What does a society ask from a school? What does an individual get from a school? Well, I donot have ready answers for these questions and, becoming interested, plan to learn as much as I can from books, friends and some thinking.
